Design Communication

PROJECT 1A

I am required to produce 5 sketches of spaces. I am required to look at various aspects of the built environment within the site using different mediums to demonstrate our understanding of space, and lastly i choose out 3 out 5 space in Taylor lakeside university such as:

• Textural effects/Materials
• Solids and voids: Form, Skin, Structure

• Opening/Aperture; openness/enclosure; inside/outside; light/shadow

• Details

• Landscape/Setting

• Scale and proportion (Relation to human and other surrounding built environment)

REFLECTION:

-I understand the notion of space in architecture, learn to differentiate and understand a space.

-I developed skills in visualising of space through observation and perception of spaces in my university.

-I developed skills in sketching to use it as a mode of communication.

Project 1B

I am required to produce four A4 size sketches of four different technique sketching skill we learned in class: 

• scribbling
• cross hatching
• hatching
• stippling 

Scribbling

Cross Hatching

Hatching

Stippling

REFLECTION:

-I learned to communicate with clarity and accuracy using line weight, symbols, to present information, depth and items on the plans and elevation as well as sections.
-I learned how orthographical drawings work and understand them thoroughly.
-I learned to ink and trace using the correct scale and techniques.

Project 2

After the production of orthographic drawings, I am required to use pencil and butter paper to generate an external axonometric drawing of the Barcelona Pavilion following the demonstration in lectures. I need to refer my orthographic drawings and the documents for measurements and information provided by tutor. After having confidently constructed my drawing in pencil, I need to proceed to trace my final ink drawing on tracing paper in order to produce a proper axonometric drawing of the building.

One point + two point perspective

AXONOMETRIC

REFLECTION

-I learned to express spatial ideas and architectural details using a three dimensional axonometric projection method from my floor plan.

-I learned to use drawing techniques to put my picture plane, viewing angle and stationery point to produce a proper perspective drawings from my floor plan.

-I learned to use different line weights to show distance and depth on my drawing.

-I learned to use colour and render to indicate materials in the building.
